There are thousands of opportunities for science teachers to participate in workshops and classes that broaden science knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, or both. Some offer graduate credit, others offer Continuing Education Units (CEU’s), and some will even pay you for participating. Many of them include outdoor adventures or exposure to new technology or exciting lab experiences. On this page, you will find a sample of the opportunities available.
